The Pittsburgh Penguins are playing with swagger again as they win their 7
th consecutive game (5 on the road.) . The powerplay has a totally different feel with Gonch back there than it did before. He moves with the puck like no one else in the NHL. Do you see how the players rotate and allow him to be the only one on the blue line? It is true beauty. But looking at the numbers, they are still a mediocre .166 PP percentage since Gonchar came back on the powerplay. I love what he brings to that unit, and just wait...the law of averages will catch up and you will see more 2 for 4s and 2 for 5s.

They are playing games in practice, they are playing with all their guts. They got 50 shots in last night's game against the Florida Panthers.
I have to give props to Tomas Vokoun. He was standing on his head to make 
saves last night. The score should have been 8-3. He made at least 4 saves that should have been easy goals.
